4 / 5 Stars
This was a wonderful read, that’s a bit reminiscent of Twilight for me.
Shae’s life turns upside down after a devastating experience with her ex-fiancé. Trying to piece her life back together, she moves back to her small-town home in Montana. Thankfully she has her best friend Jamie there waiting for her. Jamie wants to help Shae live again, not just exist through each day still mourning the loss of her former life. So, Jamie introduces Shae to her current love interest, Finn, who is a newcomer to town, along with his brothers.
Marcas is the oldest, dreamiest, and an enigma. He makes Shae feel things she didn’t expect to feel already. That comes with good and bad. Can she work on her trust issues to see if something great can develop, or will the past repeat itself?
This book was easy read and delightful. At times some of it seems a little juvenile, but it didn’t take away from the story. There are paranormal elements beginning to be introduced it seems, but there isn’t much revealed in this book. There’s a mysterious necklace and dream, not to mention a strange run in with wolves. The book ends on a huge cliffhanger, but I have a feeling so much will be revealed in the next book!
Book blurb from Goodreads:
“No matter how frustrated I feel or how hard I want to have done things differently, I can’t change anything. No one can. Whether I had a say in it or not, my path in life is set. Shouldn’t it finally be time I embraced it?”
Heartbroken, directionless, and battling a whole lot of trust issues, Shae decides that moving home to her small town in Montana, where her spunky best friend and moral support, Jamie, resides, will be the best thing for her. However, when Shae unearths a mysterious pendant in the forest with a wolf etched on the surface, strange happenings unfold.
In the meantime, Jamie wastes little time introducing Shae to her new love interest, Finn, and the other Brannon brothers, Sam, Niall, and Marcas, whose good looks and alluring charms seem to have stirred up a tornado of jealousy among the girls in town. Unable to avoid the chaos, Shae soon finds herself not only befriending Niall, the youngest, but also drawn to the tall, dark, and brooding eldest like a moth to a deadly flame. Marcas harbors secrets Shae yearns to uncover no matter how hard she tries to resist.
Will Shae have the strength to overcome her fears and give in to the idea of love—the very thing that nearly destroyed her once before—or will uncovering Marcas’ secrets force her to deny her heart’s desire?
